402-1782-00L | Physics II Accompanying the lecture course "Physics II", among GESS Science in Perspective is offered: 851-0147-01L Philosophical Reflections on Physics II | 7 credits | 4V + 2U | R. Wallny | |
Abstract | Introduction to theory of waves, electricity and magnetism. This is the continuation of Physics I which introduced the fundamentals of mechanics. | ||||
Objective | basic knowledge of mechanics and electricity and magnetism as well as the capability to solve physics problems related to these subjects. | ||||
851-0147-01L | Theories, Experiments, Causality Does not take place this semester. Particularly suitable for students of D-PHYS | 3 credits | 2G | R. Wallny, M. Hampe | |
Abstract | This course critically evaluates topics and approaches from physics against a broader historical and philosophical/systematic background. Attention will be paid, amongst other things, to the role of experiments, to the concepts of matter and field, and to theory formation. | ||||
Objective | Students should be able to critically evaluate different topics and approaches in physics. They should also be enabled to communicate their insights to people from other disciplines and fields. | ||||
Prerequisites / Notice | This course is part of the ETH "Critical Thinking" initiative. |
